Life's a Beach: Visitors!

Last weekend one of my best friends from LA came to visit. It was supposed to be her first trip away from her 16 month old, but a turn of events made her "Mom is going to sleep in for the first time in over a year and a half" to "16 month old who just learned how to walk taking a 5 hour flight to Michigan!" Despite the unexpected start to the trip, we had SO MUCH FUN! Henry loved Mark and Mark loved Henry. It was so much fun to watch our two boys play together -- and you could see Henry's brain watching Mark's feet move, as if to say, "Oh, that's how you do it! Thanks, Mark!" Mark enjoyed playing with Charlie (and we were dog sitting another dog -- so TWO doggies to pet and play with!) We went on some walks, we ventured out for a meal, played outside... and just enjoyed the new phase in our lives. After we put the boys in bed, we enjoyed some adult beverages and laughed at how much our lives have changed since we met over 12 years ago! We are looking forward to seeing our dear friends again very soon when they make their yearly trip up to Harbor Springs! Yay!
